Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Revert "selftests/mm: replace atomic_bool with pthread_barrier_t"

This reverts commit e61ef21e27e8deed8c474e9f47f4aa7bc37e138c.

uffd_poll_thread may be called by other tests that do not initialize the
pthread_barrier, so this approach is not correct.  This will revert to
using atomic_bool instead.

Fixes: e61ef21e27e8 ("selftests/mm: replace atomic_bool with pthread_barrier_t")
